First when we all jumped in the truck to hurry and get John to dialysis, and Alaina to an eye doctor appointment. Went to start the truck - but the hot summer day had put an end to the battery. Luckily it was not "dead enough" and we were able to quick start it with a battery charger that plugs into the wall. So off we go. Get John to dialysis walk over to the next building for Alaina's appointment. She did great - the doctor dilated her eyes we went to see if the glasses she liked fit her face - the next thing that is happening, Alaina is passed out and having what appears to me as another seizure. It lasted for about 1 minute. Her little face was turning blue - and my heart was breaking! She slowly came to and was very scared!
The paramedics were called, they pricked her little finger to test her blood sugar - that was fine. And they gave her some oxygen. We decided to take her to Phoenix Children's Hospital just to be on the safe side!
When she got in the ambulance they had to put an IV in her, she was amazing! They let me get in the back and hold her hand for that one!
Thankfully John's mom was with him at dialysis, and my mom was very close by as well. My mom followed the ambulance, Rosemarie stayed with John, and Russell took my battery and got a new one at Costco! And people wonder how we manage! It is because of our AMAZING family!
By the time we got to the hospital she was talking the paramedics ear off (I was talking the drivers ear off. We both talk a lot when we are nervous.)
At the hospital they ran an EKG and pricked her finger again (she thought that was a bit much) but still she was a great patient!
We are going to get her in to see a neurologist before schools starts so we can see what is causing them!
Alaina busting out of PCH! She was sooo brave!
I am really praying that we can all stay out of the hospital for the next year!!!!
